Start your day with hotel pickup in Playa del Carmen, and after a 35-minute ride, arrive at Xel-H?. With your all-inclusive admission ticket, enjoy a variety of activities offered at this natural aquarium situated along the Riviera Maya.
Underground rivers stream out to the Caribbean Sea and form a unique set of lagoons, cenotes and creeks at Xel-H?, making this location an ideal spot to explore natural formations and marine life. To protect the ecology of the park, please note that only biodegradable sunscreen is allowed, available for purchase on-site.
Take a pocket map after entering the park, and head over to the lagoon. Here, pick up snorkeling gear and towels (rental provided but deposit required) and stash your personal items in nearby lockers. For the best views of tropical fish and rays, explore the sides of the lagoon, and marvel at the turquoise and emerald green waters.
Alternatively, take the tram, walk or bicycle to the top of the river, and climb into an inner tube. Pass by lovely mangroves, float lazily down the river, and if you’re feeling adventurous, take the opportunity to jump off a cliff into the water below.
Stroll along the myriad of paved trails through Xel-H?'s lush jungle, and along the way, check out the native birds, iguanas and other wildlife. As you meander, explore the floating bridge, cenotes, caves and a hidden beach, each of which is home to more exotic flora and fauna. When you need a break, there are plenty of areas with lounge chairs to rest your feet and enjoy views of the park.
Feeling hungry or thirsty? Your all-inclusive entry includes food and beverages at the park’s five restaurants, with buffet-style and sit-down meal options, offering Mayan dishes, burgers, seafood, alcoholic drinks and nonalcoholic refreshments.
At the end of your fun-filled day at Xel-H?, you’ll be taken back to your Playa del Carmen hotel.
